I am certain after the experiences I have had that there is a purpose to our life lessons.  Many of my life lessons have revolved around learning the importance of my internal integration of yin and yang energy.  Yin and yang energy is a concept which represents the dichotomies that exist in all, the "positive" and the "negative."

Much of the world believes that there is such a thing as "negative" in terms of there being an absolute wrongness of an act, or a word, or a behavior.  However, when we understand our own freedom on a deep level, we feel completely liberated, no longer doubting ourselves or wondering if others know us better than we know ourselves.

Loving relationships seem in part to be about a process of becoming conscious of the games we play.  When we become conscious of our games, we don't need to have dysfunctional relationships anymore.  However, it seems as though most people are dying to know a love that is unconditional.  And I do mean dying.  The lack of unconditional love from ourselves and others actually harms the body.  To experience love as based upon rigid conditions is destructive to our well-being.

This work (and its second half which is not included here)
appears in Spiritual Polyamory by Mystic Life.

Spiritual Polyamory is a powerful, groundbreaking work, certain to challenge and stimulate members of both the “poly-curious” and polyamorous communities. Mystic Life takes you on a journey into honesty, awareness and self-exploration. You will be encouraged to explore your true beliefs about love, jealousy, sex and letting go of control.
